One way to do this is buy stocks or Exchange Trade Funds (ETFs) that show an uptrend and sell them as soon as they indicate volatility. Reallocating the Funds The investors who have a bigger picture in their mind and stay invested in a stock for a longer period should regulate their purchased stocks by selling a stock investment, if it has taken too much of their portfolios. Sometimes, selling a portion of low performing stocks immediately can free your investments, which you can use for a new promising stock.

Some part of the investment can also be converted into cash. Diversifying the Investments Investors at best to reduce the risk can diversify their investments between non-correlated stocks. It often secures the investor because non-correlated stocks can behave in an opposite fashion i.e., if one goes up, the other goes down. Today, diversification of investments is difficult in the stock market because of the presence of high correlation between stocks and bonds.
